Overview

Every channel, one reference.

SoundID Reference for Multichannel is for engineers setting up or tuning an immersive mix room. A guided app measures each speaker through a measurement microphone; the software then corrects every channel's frequency response towards your chosen target and time-aligns satellites and LFE, so the whole array plays back as one consistent reference. Multichannel profiles run in the DAW plugin or on supported hardware; system-wide calibration is not available for them. The licence activates on three devices and needs periodic online validation.
